UK, Ireland / Help needed - Calling all Polish persons living/working in London [60]

In Poland its more like in US. Its all inherited from the past. And now Poland is becoming to be kind of police country as well. You can be overheard without court permission for example.

Recently our goverment had new ideas, like forming new police organisations - CBS(Central Buerau of Investigation) it was supposed be kind of FBI and futher CBA(Central Anticorruption Bureau), hell knows what for.

News / Poland's overall view on the US? [38]

I think it is really hard to look objectively at the topic. For most of the people here and in rest of EU as sbd already told, USA is super power and many think they use it for they own buisinesses and they dont look forward at all - probably many is right.

USA seems to act as "I know all - You know nothing" sometimes. After all, all of what is going on in Iraq and Iran is provoked by the US diplomacy in the past, at least this is what we hear in TV ...

On the other hand, we wont be able to say who is right for the next 50 years or sth. None of us may know what is really going on there. Its just strange how USA force to introduce democracy to the countyies which (it seems to) dont want their "help". And there is other hand as well. As we all know at the beggining of the war Iraqi people was really happy, I suppose they fought that everything changes in couple of weeks ...

Language / Polish phone keypads - roman alphabet? [5]


It might have sth to do with sequence of letters in alphabet i suppouse :) It would be strange to have "a" letter at the bottom :> But i'm just guessing. That would be the answer for question why phone keyboard are inverted compared to calculator/numeric :)

So answer to your question might be ... numeric is much older than phone keyboard and thats how they developed it and thats how it still is.
